Harry Giles picks Duke

The top-ranked high school player in the country made his choice on ESPN’s Sportscenter today and, unfortunately for UK fans, he’s headed to Duke.

Harry Giles, a 6-11 forward from Winston-Salem, North Carolina was long believed to be a likely pick up for the Blue Devils, but visited Lexington for Big Blue Madness and welcomed John Calipari to his high school campus last week. Giles, who rehabbed from a torn ACL two years ago, suffered a torn ACL in his other knee earlier this week.

With his commitment, Duke now has the nation’s #1 recruiting class for 2016.
